Janet married Sir James EDMONDSTONE of that Ilk, son of David EDMONSTONE and Unknown.¹ (Sir James EDMONDSTONE of that Ilk was born about 1419.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Sir James (Edmonstone) married, first, Isabella, daughter of Sir John Forrester, ancestor of the Lords Forester of Corstorphine, by whom he had a son, John, who succeeded him ; and secondly, Janet, daughter of Sir Alexander Napier of Merchiston, ancestor of the Lord Napier, by whom he had two daughters: Elizabeth, married to Sir Patrick Blackadder, second son of Blackadder of that ilk ; and second, Margaret, married to Sir Walter, second son of Sir Walter Ogilvie of Auchleven, from which marriage descended the Ogilvies, Lords Bamff, extinct in the male line in 1803. The estates of Tyllyallan and of Boyne went out of the family by these marriages, which led to the erroneous notion, both in Crauford's and the Ednam pedigrees, that they were co-heiresses in default of male descent from their father.
